Human Resources Coordinator
Confidential employer
We are a fast-growing Canadian security and operations company looking for a hands-on, experienced HR Coordinator who can step in immediately and take ownership of our HR function.
This is not a “build from scratch slowly” role — we need someone who already understands HR in a Canadian context and can confidently manage payroll, compliance, employee relations, and HR operations with minimal guidance.
You will work directly with leadership and play a key role in stabilizing and improving HR across the organization.
Key Responsibilities
1. Recruitment & Staffing
- Recruit and assess top security talent for highly selective clients
- Manage high-volume recruitment while maintaining exceptional candidate quality
- Source, screen, and shortlist candidates using Indeed and other recruiting platforms
- Conduct screening calls and interviews to evaluate technical ability, experience, communication skills, and cultural fit
- Create and maintain effective tracking systems for candidates, hiring stages, follow-ups, and recruitment metrics
- Partner with operations to efficiently deliver thoroughly vetted, client-ready candidates
2. HR Operations & Administration
- Take full ownership of day-to-day HR functions
- Maintain employee records and HR systems
- Manage onboarding and offboarding processes
- Ensure HR policies are followed and properly documented
3. Payroll & Compliance
- Oversee payroll processing (bi-weekly)
- Ensure compliance with Canadian employment standards (Ontario preferred)
- Handle statutory requirements (vacation pay, stat pay, ROEs, etc.)
- Coordinate with accounting and external providers as needed
4. Employee Relations
- Act as the primary HR point of contact for staff
- Handle employee issues, complaints, and disciplinary processes
- Support terminations, performance management, and documentation
5. HR Systems & Process Improvement
- Identify gaps and inefficiencies in current HR processes
- Implement structure, documentation, and best practices
- Help bring discipline and clarity to HR operations
Requirements (Non-Negotiable)
- Strong understanding of Canadian HR practices and employment laws
- Proven experience managing HR independently (not just support roles)
- Experience with payroll processing and compliance
- Ability to step in with minimal training and take ownership immediately
- Strong communication skills (clear, direct, professional)
- Highly organized and detail-oriented
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment
Nice to Have
- Experience supporting Canadian companies remotely
- Background in security, staffing, or operations-heavy industries
- Experience cleaning up or rebuilding HR processes in messy environments

---
Compensation:
